Xuyi is located on the north bank of Huaishui, surrounded by water on three sides, and only borders Huailing County on the west. It is flanked by Huaishui to the south and east, and Hongze Lake to the north. It and Huailing seem to stretch into the Huaishui and Hongze Lake peninsulas. If he wants to take this place, Zhang Yi only needs to send people to garrison a section of the peninsula to block reinforcements, and then he can block these two county towns on the peninsula.

He did the same, he sent Jiang Qin with three thousand men, blocking the exit of this peninsula and defending it on both sides. Prevent the enemy from coming for reinforcements, and also prevent the inside from going out.

Zhang Yi himself landed from Huaishui with his army, approached the city of Xuyi, and ordered Gan Ning to land at Hongze Lake and copy from the north.

This place in Xuyi is actually very easy for Zhang Yi to attack, I really don't know why Zhang Zhao wants to defend this place. If he was Zhang Zhao, he would definitely not be able to guard here, not even Xiaqiu and Huailing, nor Xu County and Su County, these two county towns are on another relatively large peninsula, and they also extend into Hongze Lake. The places that Zhang Zhao should defend are Xiaxiang County and Duoyu County, which are the real barrier of Xiapi State.

Xia Xiang and Duo are very close to Xiapi, only sixty or seventy miles, and there is also Suiling County as a buffer among them, as long as they defend here, it will be difficult for Zhang Yi to attack Xiapi from the south.

But Zhang Zhao is not a strategist, but a politician. He lacked strategic vision, only considered politics, only wanted to protect his own borders, and did not want to give up any county seat. And he was also blindly confident, he put most of his troops in Xuyi, Huailing, and Xiaqiu counties, thinking that he could resist Zhang Yi in this way.

Now it's time for him to pay the price for his blind confidence comeback, Zhang Yi surrounded both sides of Xuyi City, and deliberately let go of Xuyi to exclude the people who asked for help.

After the siege, Zhang Yi ordered people to build siege equipment, and he was not busy attacking the city. He still has to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Huailing!

Zhang Yi devised a strategy of small encirclement points to attract the defenders of Huailing to go out of the city to rescue Xuyi, so that Zhang Yi could clean them up in the field. If they don't come, Zhang Yi will attack the city after building the siege equipment, and he brought 10,000 troops this time, and it will be easy to capture Xuyi.

However, Xuyi's defenders did not give up on Xuyi, and they still came. Zhang Yi was very happy when he heard that Xuyi's defenders had arrived in the west of the city. He immediately ordered Wei Wentong and Pan Zhang to lead people to attack this support army.

When Pan Zhang heard this order, he was overjoyed. He actually didn't want to be on duty in the navy, he preferred to be in the army. So he was very happy about this hard-won opportunity.

When Wei Wentong saw Pan Zhang so active, he couldn't help but say to him: "Since General Pan is so daring to fight, then ask General Pan to be the front!" ”

Pan Zhang immediately said, "Thank you General Wei for giving me this opportunity." ”

Pan Zhang has always wanted to express himself so that he can have the opportunity to lead the troops again. The identity of Sun's former minister made it difficult for him to be reused, but now that Zhu Zhi and Lu Meng had the opportunity to lead the army alone, of course he wanted to fight for this opportunity.

Pan Zhang led people to a hill, looked at the soldiers walking below, and found that they were defenseless, so he immediately shouted: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, brothers, rush with me!" ”

Pan Zhang took the lead, uh! It was one person who rushed down the hill and rushed towards the Huailing reinforcements.

These armies under Pan Zhang's current command were all brought by Zhang Yi. They didn't expect Pan Zhang to rush down with a direct shout, shouldn't they discuss which team will attack the middle and which team will attack both ends? But the managers have already rushed down, and they don't have time to arrange it themselves. One of the Qu Chang shouted: "I follow General Pan, and you two attack both ends." ”

The other two Qu Chang immediately nodded, this was not the time to scramble.

Qu Chang took his own soldiers, ran a few steps, caught up with Pan Zhang, and then rushed to the Xuzhou army with him.

The three Qu commanders with three armies, like three arrows, rushed towards the Xuzhou army. The Xuzhou army was stunned, and as soon as they heard a shout, they turned their heads to look over, and then they saw three troops rushing over like tigers coming down the mountain, which was too imposing. Many Xuzhou soldiers were frightened by this momentum, and they were all stunned, until the enemy rushed to the front, and they did not react.

Momentum is a very mysterious thing, sometimes I don't know how to get up, sometimes I just don't get up. And some people can easily raise people's momentum, and some people can corrupt their momentum. Some people will be angry and competitive in the face of momentum, and some people will be discouraged in the face of momentum.

Most of Xuzhou are discouraged people, and after being close to Zhang Yijun, they can basically be described as being defeated with one blow.

Pan Zhang cut down a Xuzhou soldier and said loudly to Qu Chang, who helped him push another Xuzhou soldier away: "Find their general!" ”

"Yui!" Qu Chang quickly agreed, and then looked at the people wearing full body armor among the enemy soldiers who were looking for him.

As a result, after searching for a long time, Qu Chang did not find such a person. Doesn't this Xuzhou army have generals? It's not like that!

An hour later, Pan Zhang finished cleaning the battlefield, summoned the three Qu chiefs and asked, "Are there any fish that have slipped through the net?" ”

"No escapes were found. However, their generals were not found. The previous Qu Chang said.

"I just asked, they received an order from Huailing to come and reinforce them."

Pan Zhang said: "I really don't know how these Xuzhou people think about defense. ”

But no matter what, Pan Zhang's success was immediately.

After fighting the reinforcements of Huailing, Zhang Yi asked Xu Sheng to cross the defense of Xiaqiu and escorted the Xuzhou soldiers captured by Pan Zhang back to Shouchun to serve as labor, and at the same time ordered Pan Zhang to continue to advance and surround Huailing County, and it was best to surrender Kaicheng, which was frightened by Huailing Ling.

Zhang Yi also began to push the siege equipment and began to attack the city.

Xuyi is not a big city, it is not a commercial city, just an agricultural county, so in order to have a lot of arable land, the population in the city will not be too much, and you don't need too many siege equipment to capture Xuyi.

Zhang Yi only used four ladders to easily attack the city wall of Xuyi, and then quickly occupied a city wall with the quality of soldiers and directly captured Xuyi City. Unlike the last time, Zhou Tai's naval army not only did not have a high combat effectiveness as the current army, but also did not have a cloud ladder. Therefore, if Zhou Tai wants to capture the city wall, it is impossible at all, so he can only rely on a sneak attack to seize the city gate. The sneak attack failed, and there was no choice but to retreat.

Standing in front of the city wall again, Zhou Tai was also full of emotion, he failed in front of this small city, and he really fought a bit of a wretched bag.
